Hey all, my brother's looking to spend about R15 000 on a HDTV. Is there anything particular in this price range that you can recommend?
 
Hmm toughee, there's so many choices!

I'd say make sure you eyeball any device before you buy. Definitely make sure the resolution has at least 720+ (usually comes in either 480, 768, 1024 or 1080) lines otherwise you might as well stick with what you've got. And check the warranty's. I know Samsung and Sony are considered the leaders in the market.Also check what inputs it has HDMI is nice to have.
 
You can get a 32" LG LCD HDTV for around R11k now (I paid R15k about 9 months ago)
 
Some HD tips ...

1. Compare apples with apples, HDTV comes in a few flavours 720p, 1080i & 1080p, also compare native pixel resolutions
2. There is a good chance you will want to connect HD equip to it in the future so if possible it should have an HDMI interface with HDCP (to watch copy protected retail content)
 
A friend got Sony Bravia 32 inch which supports 720i and 1080p, for about 14K.
 
The Sony Bravia range is pretty much the best out there at the moment
